reactive-messaging

Provides Stream-based reactive client/server communications focused on high performance -- through sockets, shared mem IPCs and other goodies -- async-powered by Tokio.

The distinct features of this library are:

• a thorough protocol modeling, with the help of Rust's powerful enums;
• ease of logic decoupling by using reactive Streams for the client / server logic;
• the main network loop for both client & server is fully optimized;
• const-time (yet powerful) configurations, to achieve the most performance possible;
• zero-cost retrying strategies & dropping the connection vs ignoring on errors through const time configs & the keen-retry lib
• for version 1: only textual socket protocols are supported by now -- binary & shared mem IPCs to be added later;

Taste it

Take a look at the ping-pong game in example/, which shows some nice patterns on how to use this library:

• How the ping-pong game logic is shared among the client and server;
• How the protocol is modeled;
• How to work with server-side sessions;
• How decoupled and testable those pieces are;
• How straight-forward it is to create flexible server & client applications once the processors are complete.

beta status

The API has been stabilized -- new features yet to be added for v1.0:

• allow reactive processors to produce all combinations of fallible/non-fallible & futures/non-futures for responsive & unresponsive logic processors (currently, only Streams of non-fallible & non-future items are allowed)
• better docs
• clean the code for the ping-pong example and the recommended patterns for using this lib
